This is very very interesting, cant wait for the results. Andrew, any idea what the driveshaft project price tag is going to be?
NASCAR rules mandate a steel driveshaft. They should really allow CF because of the safety factor. In case of a major crash the driveshaft can become a lethal projectile. A CF driveshaft will splinter and self destruct in case of a crash.

The cost of the driveshaft will be about the cost of a new Camaro CF shaft.
